Looks like all MCA artists. These tapes weren't really loss-leaders; The late-1960s Warner Bros double-LP promos (available by mail) were (WB took a loss to promote groups on their roster that were unknown hoping to sell more LPs). This is more cross-promotion for 7-Up and MTV (sweepstakes) -- the songs were already popular. They spent less on these cassettes than on a 0:30 second commercial, and probably got more attention from their target audience.
